Don't care about the results.  Leaving Gibson in with bases loaded, one out, is poor managing.

And leaving him in to get those bases loaded? Ditto!!!!

[Dr. Evil]

Don't care about the results.  Leaving Gibson in with bases loaded, one out, is poor managing.

Additionally, it was bad managing to give him his past several starts.

[Squirrel]

If he can get himself out of that, shouldn't he be able to not get himself into that in the first place?

[Danchat]

 

You can't give up on Gibson so soon! Look what happened with Oswaldo Arci....er...ummmm....... never mind.

Oswaldo is hitting .350 with 6 HRs in Arizona's AAA system right now. Since a good AAA track record always translates to the majors, he can still be the next David Ortiz!

 

/sarcasm

[ashbury]

3-2, big pitch here...

The whole major-league season is riding on this next pitch.

 

Not the Twins'. Gibson's.

[Pardon My Dinger]

OK, that fuzzy mutton chop guy was Chief, right? Had to be! Are you at this game, Chief?

[Dr. Evil]

If he was pulled right now his era would actually increase from where it was when he started the game.

[Danchat]

 

You just made me go look up what he's up to now. Looks like he's enjoying the good life in the PCL where he gets to put up video game numbers all day. Hitting .350/.409/.725/1.134.

You beat me to the punch!

Love this post!

No.

 

And my mutton chops are not "fuzzy."

Did he take it all, or is there still some left?  I'm pretty thirsty.

[amjgt]

DSan with a HR and Eddie with a BB in the same game? 

 

What's next? Gibby with a snapper mow 'em down inning?

[Blake]

Good grief, can the A's field at all?

[Blake]

 

Anyone else see this guy in their mind's eye every time the camera pans over to Lieutenant Molitor?

Twins going down in flames last year, Napalm in the morning? Yes, definitely can see a resemblance.

[Taildragger8791]

Rosario with a homerun AND a walk. This man will not be denied.

[Cap'n Piranha]

ahhh, there's the DanSan we all know and loathe.

[Mike Sixel]

Uh, a single and an error catching the ball? That seems, uh, not right?

[Mike Sixel]

Cannot wait to hear the praise for Gibson, that the media will eat up, that "Gibby really battled and kept us in it after the rough start".....as if the rough start didn't, you know, matter....

[ashbury]

ahhh, there's the DanSan we all know and loathe.

Shocking to see the same pitch he failed to check-swing, later on the put-away.

[Mike Sixel]

 

Tried to catch s a sinking line drive. Fell in front of him and then clanked off his body. SIngle and the error allowed Rosario to score form first and Gimenez to go to second. 

 

i only asked because mlb.com called it a single, and an error on the catch. I just didn't have an idea of how that worked. Now, I guess I do.

Pitching Change: Tyler Duffey replaces Kyle Gibson

 

 

Foreshadow?

[Mike Sixel]

 

Foreshadow?

 

I see what you did there*

 

*and I like it.

[ashbury]

Sano makes that play. _^(Maybe.)

[USAFChief]

 

Gibson out, thee is a God. 

Except I don't understand, if you're gonna leave him in to get out of the bases loaded, 1 out jam, why doesn't he start the next inning?

[Comrade Bork]

Agreed, can't even listen to it either :/

Google reddit MLB streams. You'll at least be able to watch the opponents broadcast

Like leaving Berrios in Triple A...........................

[spinowner]

 

Sticking with the amusement park theme...

 

how about Kyle "merry-go-round" Gibson?

Kyle "Tilt-A-Hurl" Gibson

[bighat]

C'mon Duffey, get it together here. 

[Cap'n Piranha]

Duffey appears to have borrowed Gibson's command.  Give it back Tuffey.

Hard to blame him when he's in an epic battle with Jaff....had to pitch around him.
